So I checked the post office. =A0USPS would do
the same for about $30,
"priority mail". =A0The big difference is that you don't get package
tracking.
You can tell if a package at least was received by the foreign post offic=
e.
I've had several E-bay purchases sent ot me by USPS priority mail
recently. The seller has provided me with a tracking number, and entering
that on the USPS site gives the following statuses (in this order) :
Accepted for shipmnet
Left the US
Cleared UK Customs
Arrived at the destination post office
Delivered
Waht didn'w work was the 'email updates' thing. I entered my e-mail
address and heard nothing until after the parcel had arrived, when I got
a list of tiems and dates for the above statuses. Now, I don't nned to
know how the parcel got to me, I need to know what's gone wrong if it
doesn't arrive...
